Australia Vacation Guide

As the only country in the world that (arguably) qualifies as a continent, the wide expanses and low population of Australia make it a nature lovers dream. The lush forests of Tasmania, imposing cliffs of Ayers rock and grape-growing district of Barossa all offer inland splendor, but the most attractive treats are to be found nestled around Australia’s lengthily coastline.

The Great Barrier Reef is an obvious favorite, with an enviable underwater bio-diversity that takes in clown fish, turtles, sharks, whales and even snappy salt-water crocodiles. Scuba diving and snorkeling over the massive drop offs, or ogling the coral of the world’s largest reef from your live-aboard boat is perhaps the ultimate Aussie experience. If that’s not enough water for you, The Great Coast Road, near Melbourne, follows sheer cliffs for 250kms, past empty beaches and rock formations including the proud forms of the famous Twelve Apostles.

Australia might be a nature lover’s paradise, but architects are in for a treat too. The angular shapes of Sydney Opera House are only a stones throw away from the equally epic panoramic views from the sides of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, where News Year Eve fireworks make the sunny vibe even more special. Melbourne, meanwhile, is known for its designer boutiques, high-class restaurants and buzzing summer film festival.

Australian culture is laid back and leisurely: Christmas on the beach, non-stop energetic nightlife, and cricket by the BBQ keep the jovial natives entertained. Australian ‘must tries’ includes VB – the beer Australia tries not export – and the bitter yeast-paste flavors of Vegemite, served up on a slice of white bread. Other icons of Oz are to be found in the outback: Kangaroos, Emus, Koalas and Dingoes that hop around the rock-carved symbols of the native Aborigines, and occasionally – in the case of Kangaroos and Emus – end up on the BBQ too.

Take your own intrepid walkabout through the wilds of the Australian bush, swim its teaming waters or relax and sightsee in vibrant Sydney: many backpackers stay months – or even years - down under, and you’ll quickly learn why.
